On top of it - the main camera lens and LED flash, below - the manufacturer's logo, at the bottom - audio speakers.

Ergonomics

Due to said frame, Cubot Dinosaur fits well in the hand and does not slip out of it. Physical buttons have a long stroke and protrude above the surface of the body just enough to
make them easy to press.

Smartphone can be used with one hand, but without complete bumper, which is designed to protect your "master" one hundred percent and therefore is quite wide, especially in the corners. But to
break the device will be very difficult.

The screen takes up to five simultaneous touches, oleophobic layer is not covered. Reserve high brightness. At a minimum, you can read in the dark, at a maximum - under the bright sun (though
when the rays absolutely beat the screen seen bad). illuminance sensor is usually adequate, but sometimes the machine puts too much brightness.

and color temperature. Available and improved dynamic contrast of videos.

The smartphone supports gesture control, issued as a separate item the settings menu. For example, the movement of two fingers can turn on the wallpaper menu, and change them, "wake up" the phone
smooth movement over the screen to respond to the challenge by applying to his ear, mute incoming calls by inverting the device, etc. In a separate section there are gestures that allow to run

Apparatus in the work

Inside smartphone works with the quad-core MediaTek MT6735A 1.3GHz amplified 3 GB of RAM (this volume, in fact, is becoming the standard in budget price segment). User Memory 16 GB, of which
about 11.5 available.

In everyday use Cubot Dinosaur proved well - affects the amount of "RAM". Most applications run quickly, the menu scrolls smoothly.
Interestingly (though not very convenient), if the main screen is filled, newly installed programs are only available in a large menu: Automatic icon on the desktop side is not there, it is
necessary to manually move.

With the connector micro-USB smartphone is connected through a USB-host flash drives.

Scaling pages in the browser is fast, with streaming and recorded video to memory problems either. Some difficulties arise with the launch of "heavy" games: the smartphone can "think" a little
longer than would be necessary for such a memory volume. Also, if you play long enough, it's a little hot.

AnTuTu and 3DMark tests evaluated the ability of the smartphone as a medium. However, for more and he does not pretend.

Camera

The main camera takes 8 megapixel photos with interpolation up to 13 megapixels - Dinosaur creators about it do not write, but it's worth knowing. Like that the number of megapixels has been or
will be the main characteristic of the camera.

primary, or it can be determined each time.

With communication all is well, but in the room the signal still sometimes lost, although the quality of the transmission (and reception), the voice can be considered as excellent.

The ringer volume is high, the smartphone vibrates too noticeable.

Wi-Fi module and Bluetooth are working correctly, but the Internet once "fell off" for no apparent reason, while a few meters from the router. Furthermore, it does not see all of the network
available from a specific location (in comparison with the two gadgets and two TVs with Wi-Fi). With the support of the Russian LTE is no problem, at least in MegaFon and Beeline megabytes "run"
at a speed of 15-17 Mbit / s.

Cold start GPS-receiver takes a little less than a minute, hot - 10-15 seconds, the location is right.

mode, Extreme mode. The "super" reduced brightness of the screen and application activity, in an extreme version of the smartphone turns into a black-and-white phone for calls and SMS.

In a standard test video playback (mode "Flight", the maximum brightness, volume 70%) of the battery enough for 7 hours and 40 minutes, which is a lot. Hour game Relic Run with active Wi-Fi
demanded 16%. In standby mode, without having to connect to the Internet took 5% per day. Finally, talk for 20 minutes, half an hour of the Internet, tens of photos put the battery by 14%.
